This happens with NetBeans IDE 7.3 FCS (Build 201302062200) too and I can't set the encoding either, it goes back to UTF-8. It is regression and there is no workaround as far as I know, so it should be P1.

Can you believe it's already 5 months since NetCAT 7.3 started? =-O Yes,
after NetCAT 7.0 this will be the 2nd longest NetCAT program in the
history. In spite of that there are still enough people who want to make
sure that 7.3 version is well tested till its final release. The average

activity of the previous two weeks was *~156 BETs* which was generated

by 25 bug reporters, 26 e-mailer writers and 1 tutorial reviewer.
Although such decrease in activity was expected, this NetCAT program has
been clearly more productive in terms of bugs income than what we are
used to which is confirmed by the attached charts. Great job folks!
Release Candidate 2 is out and FCS build is being certified full steam.
Community Acceptance survey has been closed and results published.
Satisfaction survey about NetCAT program itself has launched. There were
discussions about not working Save action, some problems with API
Support functionality or missing NetBeans item in KDE menu. More details
are below.

*2. Important stuff*

* First of all thanks to 40 NetCAT participants who provided feedback
in the _Community Acceptance survey_. In total we have got 110

proud to say that NetBeans community recommended to release 7.3 RC
as FCS! :-) Only few respondents suggested to fix a handful of bugs
but none of these issues was pointed out by 10% of respondents or more.

* We are glad that overall _satisfaction with NetBeans IDE 7.3
quality_ is greater than with NetBeans IDE 7.2! :-) On the other

hand, it seems that people recognized our focus on performance in
7.2 more than what was done for 7.3. Another great highlight is that
satisfaction with Java Editor increased by 11%. Quality of the brand
new Client-Side Web Development features is satisfactory for 94%.
Finally, usage and quality of JavaFX support remains similar if
compared to 7.2 results.

did 4 more reviews which leaves him with astonishing 35 tutorials.
Fantastic job Marcin! There are only few more remaining but these
are hard nuts like 9-parts DB&PHP tutorial or introduction to
ClearCase. ;-)

* Since yesterday you should all have received personal invitation to
the very last survey trying to gather your _opinion on the NetCAT
7.3 program_ itself. I would really appreciate it if you could share

with me few words about your satisfaction with being NetCAT
participants. Also don't forget to recognize your colleagues who
deserve it! :-) If you didn't get URL to the survey, don't hesitate
to ping me ASAP!

* /Medea Gugushvili/ asked if anybody else saw a not working Save All

toolbar button. This would be a serious trouble however nobody
confirmed this and Medea only noticed this in development builds,
not the official 7.3 one. Phew! :-)

Fortunately, three other participants tried but didn't reproduce the
problem and later even Mani himself too. Mani also pointed out that
NetBeans Platform Quick Start Using Maven tutorial needed an update
if its label should change to 7.3.

* /Glenn Holmer/ discovered that installation of 7.3 RC on his Kubuntu
_failed to register NetBeans launcher_ menu item. As it worked fine

for 2 other participants, Glenn did some tweaks until he fixed the
problem by renaming netbeans-7.3 RC1.desktop to use underscore.

* /Anton V. Kirilchik/ was the best bug reporter of the final two
weeks with his *11* reported bugs.

* 13 high priority bugs were filed and 8 of them were fixed - mainly
in trunk though.
